Riccardo Patrese

Riccardo Patrese (born April 17 1954) in Padua, Italy was a Formula One racing driver from 1977 until 1993.

Brabham

A switch to Brabham in 1982 was rewarded by a lucky win at the Monaco Grand Prix where both Didier Pironi and Andrea de Cesaris ran out of fuel on the final lap while leading. A second win followed in 1983 at the South African Grand Prix, but in a season which saw his team mate Nelson Piquet claim his second drivers title, Patrese finished a distant ninth in the championship. It would be seven years before he made another visit to the top step of the podium.
